This portfolio ventures through the projects of Practicum 1 of the School of Architecture, Building and Design of Taylor’s University Petaling Jaya.

Practicum 1 compromises the subjects ARC 1213 Methods of Documentation and ARC 1223 Measured Drawings and the projects entitled within the two subjects are 1) Sketches, 2) Measured Drawings and 3) Report and Photobook.

My group consists of 16 students and 1 tutor. We were assigned to measure and document the house of Pn. Azizah Yusof in Pulau Duyong, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu within 6 days of site visit and within 8 weeks, we were required to produce the full documentation and precise measured drawings of the house. This be done with guidance of our tutor, interims, presentations and group work.

Project 1

Sketches This project required us to observe and understand our site’s surroundings and environment. By sketching a sketch journal, we were aware of the situation, the culture, the tradition and the locals. The unraveled the different layers of principles that comes with the culture of the place that influences the local architecture such as the purpose of the style, motif and space typologies.Understanding through observation did not conclude us with just visual aspects but also in communicating with the locals through interviews and small talks.

Pulau Duyong is quite a small village on an island and the significance of the place is really absorbed within its architecture, the behaviour of the people, the food and the art that lies within.

Project 2

This project thought us patience, group work, time management and drawing techniques. We did measurements during the day on site and converted into drawings as a group through the nights just to make sure that everything was covered. This made me understand the importance of technical drawings and to show precision and precise drawings every single group that handled the different sets of drawings must all tally. This was quite a work.

This project went through a few interims whereby lecturers & tutors of different groups helped us understand more on different types of drawing annotations, symbol and principles. The interims helped us a lot because we were given the experience of understanding how each N

Project 3

Methods of Documentation This report discusses the research investigation of Puan Azizah’s house in Pulau Duyong where the traditional Malay architecture takes place, incorporating its chronology of events throughout its years of existence.

Findings of study indicate that within an area in Kuala Terengganu of the state of Terengganu, an individual traditional house itself has its own uniqueness in comparable with other individuals of houses due to the individualistic qualities of its owners.

I was assigned to be the head for this project and with my sub-group it took us weeks and many readings, discussions and proof checks by our tutor to get a licit report to support our Measured Drawings. This project helped us understand further the architectural style of the area as well as the people, tradition and culture.

Conclusion I find this Practicum 1 a really good experience wherby I meet new people to work with, comprehend how we think and work as a group.

I understood the purpose and objective of this Practicum1 and I must say that I really appreciate the knowledged given to us and gained by us.

I met amazing group mates and tutors and I thank thee for making this Practicum 1 our Practicum 1. We wouldn’t have made it without us working together as a group and without us being a group. As much love for the group I need to show much gratitude towards our tutor, Pn. Nooridayu binti Ahmad Yusuf. For without her, we wouldn’t stand how did.

On further note, I really enjoyed this Practicum 1. We had a great time during the site visit, late nights in studios and in preparations for our interims and presentations. I grateful for having my group.
